Oh half remembered, fleeting, happy time,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLjspu9mhS
When nothing mattered more than love and play,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEaKo74PCl
Imagination was then in its prime,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50xVTWyIv4
And life began anew with every day.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEKEaJ1Qs3
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bnHCgxcHX
A flower was then a joy, a mystery,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkjEIJXCf0
And not a petal, root and simple stem,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvBRQlLh0E
And life was full of wondrous fantasy,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBOf5d2l5i
Untainted by the intellect of man.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX23vMg6kLb
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHBFWNPsTh
That time is gone now; it cannot return,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMibCuvPRlV
The fruit's been swallowed; its slow poison kills,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUmb3T8fQa
And yet my fallen heart will always yearn,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UvHxTC2r8
For that most happy time of unknown skills.182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMZ4b1RnKP
182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsgS1isI62
Oh false god, knowledge, daily you destroy,182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDJeHDFbq7
All that was holy in me as a boy!182Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GysugiOmT
